Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Roland D-50 Output Distorted

2008-09-25 by Brinkmann Music

Another discovery. In patch output mode, if output is at 2 or all way up to max, the distortion volume remains the same. Also, get intermittent digital hash clicks and short tones on all outs when no notes played- like clock noise on a PC. This volume is same as distortion.

Anyone point me in right direction to repair distorted output on all
outs- headphone, L & R. Distortion lasts until sound decay stops.

Cleaned contacts and surface of output board. I'm not a tech, but a
player, but this seems like should be a simple fix.

Don't have schematics and can't find any previous posts on this
problem. TIA!
